Dear Students, Teachers, Sponsors and Guests, On behalf of the Executive Staff of MUNOL 2019, we would like to welcome eve- rybody to the 22nd annual session of Model United Nations of Lübeck. Annually since 1998, when a group of students launched a Model United Na- tions called “MUNOL” in Lübeck, the conference has taken place at the Thomas-Mann-Schule. Back then, they planted the seed of a project which grew steadily into the extraordinary conference it is today. As we have always valued internationality at MUN-conferences, we tried to put a special focus on the diversity of nations. Hence, with nearly 500 students gath- ering in Lübeck from 12 countries and three continents, MUNOL 2019 will again be a very international conference. During the week, the delegates will discuss and find compromises on highly top- ical issues that are currently drawing the world’s attention such as the increas- ing threat of climate change and international conflicts. Moreover, our promi- nent guest speakers will enrich the conference by giving you an insight into certain fields of their expertise, enhancing your background knowledge and ameliorating the quality of debate. Altogether, this creates the famous MUNOL- Spirit and you will soon realize what it feels like to be part of this ‘MUNOL-icious’ event. In 2019, we are simulating 11 forums of the United Nations including amongst others the Security Council, the Historical Security Council (HSC) and also this year the Special Conference on Trade in the 21st century which has been es- tablished in the course of our conference theme 2019: trade and development in the 21st century: are we getting ready for the future? Furthermore, we are continuing our efforts to make MUNOL as ‘green’
